A RESOLUTION OF THE SEWARD PLANNING AND ZONING
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, RECOMMENDING
THE CITY COUNCIL SUPPORT AND FUND A STUDY OF POTENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS FOR THE "BENCH" AREA ON THE EAST
SIDE OF RESURRECTION BAY
WHEREAS, Seward City Code 2.30.225 charges the Seward Planning and Zoning
Commission ("Commission") with responsibility for promoting the public interest and understanding
of comprehensive planning, zoning, land management and other issues related to community
planning and development; and
WHEREAS, the Commission has identified the "bench area" located on the East side of
Resurrection Bay as a potential opportunity for development, as it would expand the availability of
developable land within City boundaries; and
....
WHEREAS, in recent years, the Commission and the Seward City Council have taken action
to recommend and authorize disposition of individual parcels on the East side of Resurrection Bay,
without a comprehensive and organized plan for future development in these areas, which may limit
the potential for achieving the highest and best use of these properties for the community's overall
benefit; and
WHEREAS, in considering potential development options for the "bench area", the
Commission recommends that every effort be made to recognize the valuable role that this area plays
in protecting the community's view-shed, and that potential development in this area proceed in a
manner that minimizes adverse impacts to the view-shed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Seward Planning and Zoning
Commission that:
Section 1. The Commission hereby recommends that the Seward City Council pursue a study
of the "bench area" located on the East side of Resurrection Bay, to consider potential development
options for this area. and to encourage orderly and planned development to meet the highest and best
use of this land for the community benefit, recognizing the value that this area plays in protecting the
community's view-shed.
Section 2. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon adoption.
